As the owner of a major metalworking concern known as the Duffryn Steel and Tinplate Works, he had the resources to fund a number of philanthropic and charitable endeavours for which he was recognised in the 1921 King's Birthday Honours by being created, at the unusually young age of 32, a Baronet with Hendrefoilan House and family estate in the Sketty community, near Swansea, serving as the territorial designation.
Also on De La Beche Road, the Sketty Medical Practice can be found; and on the junction with Gower Road, St. Paul's Church (Church in Wales) is situated.

Morris's descendent George Lockwood Morris the Wales rugby player lived at Machen Lodge, and his son Cedric Morris the artist and plantsman was born there.
